Stacks with potatoes and cheese

Step-by-step preparation

Cooking time: 1 hr 20 mins

1. STEP 1

   

   Let's prepare the ingredients. It is better to use minced meat to prepare a dish made from a mixture of pork and beef. But minced chicken is less fatty and more dietary. It’s even better to make minced fresh meat yourself, then you can be sure of the quality and taste of the product. But for quick and easy preparation of the dish, you can use ready-made minced meat. Add salt and ground black pepper to the bowl with minced meat and mix.

2. STEP 2

   

   Wash the potatoes, peel them and grate them on a medium grater. The potatoes need to be cooked last so that they do not have time to darken.

3. STEP 3

   

   Peel the onions and cut them into small cubes with a knife.

4. STEP 4

   

   Wash the carrots, peel and grate.

5. STEP 5

   

   Wash chicken eggs with soap to avoid the penetration of pathogenic microbes from the shell into the eggs and place them in a saucepan. Boil them hard for about 20 minutes. Cool, peel and finely chop with a knife. Add a little mayonnaise to the egg mass and mix.

6. STEP 6

   

   Grate hard cheese on a fine grater. Hard cheese can be used of any type according to taste and availability.

7. STEP 7

   

   Heat vegetable oil in a frying pan. Place carrots and onions on it. Fry the vegetables until lightly browned, stirring occasionally with a wooden spatula. Fry the vegetable fry for about 7 minutes.

8. STEP 8

   

   Grease the baking dish with vegetable oil. Use your hands to make small cakes with your hands with a hole in the center. If the minced meat turns out to be too dry, you can add a little water to it. Place the minced meat cakes on the bottom of the mold, leaving space between them. Spoon some boiled eggs onto each minced cake. Next is vegetable frying from onions and carrots.

9. STEP 9

   

   Then grated potatoes. Let's salt it a little. Place a tablespoon of tomato paste or ketchup on top and sprinkle with a small amount of grated cheese. Cover the pan with foil and place in an oven preheated to 180 degrees. After 30 minutes, remove the foil from the pan and put the dish back in the oven so that the cheese melts. 5 minutes is enough.

10. STEP 10

    

    Serve the stacks to the table with sauce and fresh vegetables if desired. Bon appetit!

On weekends, you always want to cook something new and tasty. “Stacks with potatoes and cheese” turned out to be just that unusual and new dish that made everyone in the household delighted. I've never cooked anything like this before. I immediately took a double portion of the ingredients so that there was enough for everyone. Based on 600 g of minced meat. I had freshly ground ground beef. To begin with, I set the eggs to boil in salted water; from the moment of boiling, 7-8 minutes is enough for the eggs to be hard-boiled. Then I transferred them to cold water so that the shells were thoroughly cleaned. While the eggs were boiling, I cut the onions into small cubes and sautéed in sunflower oil until translucent, I decided to add the onions to the minced meat and mixed thoroughly, beating lightly, so that the minced meat became more homogeneous and did not fall apart during formation. I grated the carrots on a medium grater and lightly stewed them. I chopped the eggs finely and mixed them with sour cream. At the very last moment I grated the potatoes so that they did not darken. Then she formed the stacks. I put a slice of tomato on top and sprinkled with oregano, and I decided to add cheese 5 minutes before it was ready. I baked it in an oven preheated to 180°C under a Teflon mat for 30 minutes, after which I removed the mat and baked for another 10 minutes until browned. At the last moment, I sprinkled it with finely grated cheese and put it in the oven for 5 minutes so that the cheese melted. It turned out very beautiful and, most importantly, delicious! A very harmonious combination of all ingredients. And besides, a baked dish is much healthier than fried cutlets, and it also comes with a ready-made side dish. The resulting broth turned out to be very tasty. Thank you for such a wonderful recipe and of course I’m bookmarking it!
